Go with a local printer. That will be the minimum of fuss and the guy wont have to get his IT person to clean up the mess when he returns. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mike Omilian Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 10:18 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: Printing from a laptop with Novell Thanks Ed, that is probably easiest since when I asked him what version of Novell he was running, he looked at me like I said it in Italian.
